Lord knows I can be fairly shitty in the kitchen, but I've never managed to thoroughly screw up rice.
I really really wanted Hung to go just for the faux-guileless look on his face as he said, "Too classic?" in response to Colicchio's question about why he thought he was there. Or I would have, if I didn't already want him to go just for his reckless ways with the cleaver. Or I would have, if I didn't already want him to go for saying, "I guess they just didn't understand my concept" of the seasoned professionals who didn't like his quickfire item. He's the Top Chef Figjam.
I still mostly dislike Joey, but it's kind of cute how he and Howie are all OTP in a burly, brotherly sort of way. They did their territorial dance of rage at each other, baring their teeth and displaying their fierce plumage, and now that each is sufficiently impressed with the size of the other's balls they're perfectly peaceable together.

He needed to be smacked with the broad side of a cleaver for that.

Heh. Yeah, my wife pronounced, "Aw! The bears have bonded!"
Gawker, on Top Chef, shallowly: [link]
Catching up with Top Chef. So very very over Hung. Did the guest judge call him Honk in the Quickfire?
I'm sorry Sara (of the chile rellenos) didn't get pulled in with Howie and Joey - certainly the crowd reaction seemed to merit it.
What happened to Pocahontas's arm?
Now I want to watch
Dame Chocolate.
She's always had that scar -- car accident as a teen or something -- but sometimes you just notice it.
SYTYCD:
So, I was going to go off on how some of those uniforms were totally out of date (the women's) and then I realized, no, they were perfectly good uniforms during WWII. Now, that's what I call authenticity to the song's time period.
SYTYCD - I knew when I saw those two couples which one was safe.
I cannot believe Danny and Anya are in the bottom 3 again! Lauren and whathisname had better be there, too!
That's the way I feel, too. I'm very surprised to find Danny and Anya in the bottom, but we leave it up to America to vote and we know just how incredibly stupid American voters can be.
